Long Lasting Finish!!

This spray is the bomb!
It has a slight fragrance that isn’t too over the top with is amazing.
It keeps your face nice and hydrating and sets with a gorgeous glow.
The product is great to lock in makeup , but I actually use this before I start my makeup and then once I’ve finished for maximum affect.

Any Tips?:

use a primer as well

Ideal For...:

anybody that is chasing a 'setting spray spritz'

Dewy, Long-lasting finish

This spritz is amazing. It has a sweet and pleasant fragrance and helps to keep my makeup nicely in place. My face feels hydrated after using this product and my skin is left with a gorgeous dewy glow.

I even used this product to lock-in my makeup for my tropical wedding and I didn't need to do any touch ups all day. Amazing given that heat can often make makeup slide.

Any Tips?:

Use in conjunction with a primer for an even longer lasting finish.

Ideal For...:

Everyday!

Great product that gives my makeup a natural look.

I enjoy wearing mineral foundation. Sometimes I find my mineral powder foundation doesn't buff into my skin properly and just sits in the surface, This makes my makeup look really unnatural.
To fix this problem I used MAC's Fix + . It does an amazing job of making my makeup look natural.
It sets my foundation in place making it longwearing and it makes my foundation look so natural as if I have never worn any makeup.
It makes my cakey foundation look smooth and flawless.
I also found that whenever I spray this on my foundation it doesn't transfer onto my clothes so basically it just seals my makeup.
I love the spray dispenser. It means I can just spray it on without disrupting my makeup application.
It is really hydrating and I enjoy the fine mist sprayed onto my face especially on hot days.
really recommend if you want your foundation to last all day without smudging as well as give your foundation a smooth natural look.

Any Tips?:

spray sparingly ontop of your makeup and let it dry naturally.
I found it worked best when I used a mineral powder foundation.

Great product!

It did seem a little ridiculous to me that this was $25 for a small spray bottle of water however i decided to go for it anyway as it had such good reviews and it didn't disappoint! It spays such a nice fine mist so your make-up doesn't get destroyed, it smells so nice and its so refreshing especially in summer. It doesn't, in my opinion, make my make-up last any longer but it does stop a cakey finish when using a heavy power and gives a dewy look.

Any Tips?:

spray this before using anything like eyeliner or mascara or it'll be running down your face.. i leant this the hard way!

Amazing product!

I purchased this originally as it was used on me by an artist at MAC for a professional application - they set my face with this and I woke up the morning after my event with my makeup as perfect as it was when applied. I continued to use it as a setting spray, it worked to remove cakeiness from my skin and to even out my makeup and help it stay all day.

After a tip from a friend I recently started using this on my eyeshadow brush to increase pigmentation and it's absolutely incredible! It increases the pigmentation of every shadow I've used it with better than normal water, and helps the true colour stay and stand out on my eyes throughout the day.

I've also used it on my brush before applying baked products from other brands, as well as on my Mineralize Skin Finishes and it helps increase the colour payoff

Any Tips?:

Use for eyeshadow and baked products. Buy the Sized to Go on the mac website for a trial. Get the original Fix+ if you can, the mineralize version isn't the same

Ideal For...:

Setting makeup, increasing eyeshadow opacity and wear

Perfect for dewy skin

Although it's not the setting spray which it's often mistaken for, MAC Fix + is an amazing product with many uses. You can use it as a base, or after make-up and it gives you a beautiful glowy look. It also helps with oxidisation and is great to spray on after a few hours of wear as a pick me up.

Holy Grail product!

I always heard people raving about this but I've never tried it until last month, when I got a gift card and purchased a bottle. Oh my god - if you have dry skin, you need this! It takes away all the flakiness and cakiness, and leaves your skin with a dewy finish. It also sets your makeup so you don't have to worry about hugging people and leaving marks on their clothes. I'm also really loving that it's only a dollar or two more expensive than MAC Fix+ in the USA- excellent job MAC!

Doesn't make my makeup last longer but takes away cakiness

This is actually one of the more affordable and better-value-for-money Mac products in Australia. It is a lightweight hydrating spray with a pleasant smell that takes away the powdery/cakey look of makeup and leaves you looking naturally dewy. I don't believe this makes my foundation last longer and for some reason, it has a tendency to muck up my eyeliner and eyeshadow so I usually spray this after I have 'put on my face' but not my eyes and lips. I like how strong the spray is and how evenly the mist is distributed and I almost feel like keeping the bottle instead of doing a back2mac. It dries to a slightly tacky finish (like freshly applied foundation) on the skin, which I'm not particularly fond of, but it does seem to make my makeup more smudge-proof. I rarely get the cakey foundation look since most of my foundations have light-medium coverage and I usually only apply 1 layer but when I do, this really helps with blending everything in nicely.

Any Tips?:

Spray on an eyeshadow brush and pack the eyeshadow on your lids and you have the wet eyeshadow technique smack down

Ideal For...:

Dry/normal/combination skin. Would not recommend for oily skin as it tends to make you look quite shiny unless you're going for that look.

Photoshop in a bottle

I was watching a makeup tutorial by Angel Merino, and he raved about it! He honestly was obsessed with Fix +. So I decided that given the great review's on here and Angel's comments I would give it a go.
It was on my wish list for my Secret Santa and I was so lucky that she gifted it to me, (Thankyou again so much)!

It honestly is amazing! It really is Photoshop in a bottle, it just makes all my makeup blend and settle. I still achieve a dewy finish whilst applying powder. It set's my face and my makeup lasts all day! No patches or red spots. It is my Holy Grail product and I cannot live without it. I have got my friends obsessed with this product as well!

Any Tips?:

You only need 1-2 sprays and it's perfect! The bottle lasts for ages!

I never knew I needed it til I tried it

Having only recently discovered this product, I am now on to my second bottle. I started to use Fix+ as I found that my make up was not staying on throughout the day and it didn't have the refined look I was after. Now using it, I make sure that I spray a few mists when I'm finished applying my makeup. It certainly also gives your face a refreshed feeling and the smell is also really pleasant

Any Tips?:

Spray a few mists when your face needs a little refresh

Ideal For...:

Setting make up

Good buy

I bought this along with the MAC Softening Lotion on the advice of a MAC makeup artist. Its designed to hydrate the skin prior to going to the park and secondly set makeup. I felt that it did give my skin a mositure boost the time that I have used it. THe product comes in a clear bottle with a spray nozzle. When used, it sprays a fine mist over the skin. I primarily use it prior to makeup application to add a boost of mosturise. Definitely worth a try.

Dewy finish but do not overspray!

Love this finishing spray to set my makeup and get rid of the powdery foundation look. Blends all the makeup together and settles the foundation. Refreshes the skin and also has a lovely scent. The large bottle lasts quite a while as you only need 1-2 spritz for the face. Will definitely repurchase!

Essential for a flawless finish

I love this product! I MAY be slightly addicted to the smell as well as the performance.
I was introduced to Fix+ a few months ago and I haven't looked back, I use a full coverage foundation and have oily combination skin. I use the Fix+ before applying my foundation, I then spray again before putting on my setting powder; add all my blush, eyeshadow, highlighter etc then spray again. My makeup lasts 10 or more hours without shifting. It is great on hot days to refresh the face.
The bottle features a slide/lock on the nozzle which is great for travel or in your handbag. A generous sized bottle for the price.

Any Tips?:

A spritz on your shadow brush adds sheen to eye shadow

Ideal For...:

all skin types

Not the most perfect setting spray, but

I have found a way to use it that just -works-. I spray it directly on my powder brush, and then swirl it into my Rimmel Stay Matte powder. It makes the powder pretty difficult to use without it (why I chose a cheaper powder for this), but it sets the powder onto the skin, especially on the nose where I find makeup just has a tendency to go away. Love it.

Could be better

I have been using the MAC Fix+ for close to 2 years and have found that it does assist in setting makeup. I like that when sprayed on it transforms the makeup to a finished and refined look (especially for powder). The downside of the product is that for oily skin it does not increase the longevity of the makeup - I still experience makeup being rubbed off and being patchy at the end of the day. The price is a little on the expensive side but as you do receive a large bottle it is worthwhile. Overall a good product but there is better out there.

Any Tips?:

If running low on the product be aware that the spray droplets are larger and that for powder it can dry and leave light spots on your face. At this stage you would need to use your fingers to lightly blend the fluid out.

Ideal For...:

Dry skin - not oily

Great versatile product!

I love using fix plus to set my makeup, it settles powder sitting on the skin and gives your face a healthy dewy look. It can also be used for so many things, I will spray it onto an eyeshadow brush before picking up a colour and it makes it stand out so much more. For the price you get your monies worth as it lasts quite a while!

I will definitely repurchase this product :)

Ideal For...:

Setting makeup, and refreshing!

A handy multi-tasker

I use Fix+ nearly every day just as I am finishing my make up. I use it to remove any cakieness left by foundation or powder. It leaves a nice, natural finish to the skin (not too matter or dry). It also helps with setting my make up in place.
Other ways to use this product, include as a primer or make up refresher throughout the day. I love it.

Perfect for a soft & smooth finish!

Having previously used powders, I found that they dried out my skin and resulted it in flaking and become extremely irritable.
I decided that I should start using a spray as I'd heard that they were a lot lighter and softer on the skin and didn't clog or irritate the skin like powders.
I purchased this spray after I had 2 friends recommend it to me. And since then it has become one of the only finishing products that I use on my skin :) It leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth and ensure my make up looks great and lasts for hours and hour. One or two sprays of this product and my makeup is honestly set for an entire night. It also smells amazing and makes my skin feel so fresh and healthy.

Everyone needs this!

I thought this would be a waste of money but decided to give it a try. I use it before applying foundation as a bit of a primer and after foundation to set it. It makes my makeup look more natural as I can sometimes be a little heavy handed with my foundation. I use it throughout the day to refresh my makeup rather than applying more. I love the lock feature of the nozzle.

Any Tips?:

Try not to be too heavy handed and spray slowly otherwise you'll use too much and it'll drip off your face.

Brilliant

This is one of the best products on the market. I've tried so many of these types of sprays and nothing comes close. I carry one in my handbag and spray myself throughout the day - I swear it takes five years off my face whenever I use it. I'd love MAC to release handbag sizes though!
